duet

For Zhou Nian, acting has never been an easy task: whether it is an independent film, a drama, or a youth drama - it's all the same.

The script outlines the character's skin, and he needs to squeeze out the soul from the lines, and then remove a part of himself, put it in, and become the bone that supports it.He is not a methodical actor, and he is often not qualified to experience the character's situation personally. All he can do is to thoroughly understand the script, chew it into pieces, familiarize himself with it thoroughly, and finally integrate with it.

The script lacks logic, but he has it; if the script’s emotions are unreasonable, he just makes him rationalize.From the first day he got the script, he began to weave his own plot in the blank, trying to straighten out the story in his mind.

The senior in the story had a crush on the heroine when he first met - he is delicate and observant, and he may have seen her several times before, and he has already left an impression on her after seeing her glamorous moments;

Afterwards, she was willing to work hard for her affairs—his character must be upright and enthusiastic. The image of a good student for many years has endowed him with a sense of responsibility and a heart of empathy, so even if there is no personal relationship involved, he can stand up. out.

Other actors may have gradually deepened their understanding of the characters during filming, but he is used to fulling and rounding the characters in his heart from the beginning, and when he stands in front of the camera, everything seems logical.

This is the "liveness" of the character.Bai Hua looked at him, and made a judgment in his heart. In terms of acting skills, Zhou Nian might still be a little immature. After all, he just graduated, and he had to master the old drama skills... But he already has the most precious bit of "spirit". .

"The acting is very good", this is Zhou Nian's most received comment when he debuted. When his first film was released, he frequently appeared on the review pages of major film weekly magazines.He didn't have a lot of roles in that film, but when critics write about the film, he is always underestimated.And the so-called "strength" and "eyes that can tell stories" in their writings are actually all based on his "spirit" and "toughness" during his research, which is reflected in the characters, which is "vigor".

lifelike.convincing.

In the shots on the set, the heroine played by Bai Wei hastily rejected the senior's kindness, turned her head and ran to the other side of the path.Zhou Nian stood on the spot, staring at her back, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, and a vaguely inquisitive heart.

"He's a good guy." Bai Hua just looked at him, and almost forgot that there was someone on the other end of the phone. She muttered to herself before thinking about it, "Hello? Are you still listening?"

"exist."

"Let me tell you, he's quite interesting." Bai Hua lowered her voice, "He's kind of talented. This time, I'm credited with recommending you. I'll treat you to a drink when I go back."

"Ah."

"Just give this reaction?" The scene was over, the director yelled "cut", the actors walked out of the camera, and the rest of the staff swarmed up to adjust the lighting and scenery.Bai Hua took two steps outside, avoiding the noisy crowd: "It's very rare to find young people with aura these days, so don't spoil it for me..."

Pei Xun laughed.

In the past few days, he has been running around the set to watch the actual performances of the actors for casting, and he has to withdraw when the crew breaks, otherwise he will be caught and greeted endlessly.Bai Hua covered her face with her hands and the phone, and hurriedly walked out of the arena against the wall: "Come on, you can go for a refreshment too, don't delay others..."

Because of this, he missed Zhou Nian's gaze.

When he was filming just now, Zhou Nian felt that there was a strange gaze from outside the scene looking at him with special concentration.Different from the enthusiastic gaze he was used to, the man's gaze carried a sense of scrutiny and criticism, like a buyer who is picking and choosing, weighing his weight-he has not experienced it for a long time since he came to the loose youth drama crew Monkey. After experiencing such a feeling, my nerves became tense, and I exerted a little more strength in the play.

Who's coming to see him?A senior actor?Or which director is interested in him?

Or... What he didn't want to admit was that for a few moments, he thought of Pei Xun.

As soon as the camera left, he immediately looked there, but only saw the back of a head with messy hair.The man wrapped his whole body in an over-loose overcoat, and was sneaking away to the sidelines... This was obviously very different from Mr. Pei who was meticulously crafted.He didn't know who this person was, and he didn't have the heart to think about it. There was only some soreness and numbness in his heart like being pricked by a fine needle, which reminded him of his self-indulgence.

How could someone who hadn't heard from him for two weeks suddenly come to the set to see him?

Whenever he has free time, he will think of Pei Xun.The figure became a shadow in his mind, always appearing in his mind when he was not on guard, as if it was everywhere.

The second generation of rich is always indispensable in popular youth dramas, and "Seven Degrees of Youth", which has a collection of various routines, is naturally no exception. The second male lead in the play is a rich young man, and the second female lead makes up a pair Huanxi friends are responsible for the laughing points of this drama.The setting of this character is also a standard configuration in school dramas: he is domineering and domineering on weekdays, but he is cautious and clumsy when talking about love. In the popular words nowadays, it is called "contrasting cuteness".

When he first got the script, Zhou Nian felt that the characters' lines were a little too exaggerated, but he didn't take it seriously.After meeting Pei Xun, Zhou Nian had to take a second look at everything that could touch him.The lighting engineer wore a gray long coat, which was similar to the style he wore that day; when the supporting actor lowered his head, his profile was very similar to his... Even when he saw the fictional nobleman in the script, he would subconsciously I want to find similarities with Pei Xun from him.

He had never had any interaction with someone like Pei Xun before, and he had no idea of ​​the class that person belonged to, so when he re-read the script, he deliberately paid attention to the lines of the rich second generation in the play, and he couldn't help thinking——Could Pei Xun also Will you talk and act like this?

——"Damn it, can't you feel it if I like you or not?"

——"I lied to you. I will fall in love with you? Dream!"

——"Don't forget your identity... who do you think you are?"

He silently closed the script, his face burning with panic.It seems that reality can sometimes be higher than art, no matter what, Pei Xun will not call him "the little goblin who grinds people"... right?

Most of the leading roles in youth drama crews are popular idols, and the schedule is full one after another, and the time they can get together is pitifully small.The traffic directors have little time to cooperate with the shooting, but their net worth is quite scary. The salary is calculated on a daily basis. In order not to increase the investment burden, the filming progress must not be delayed at all.For example, Bai Wei, she had to make up for the backlog of scenes in the past few days.

This made it hard for the actors who played with her.Zhou Nian has to rush to the set at [-]:[-] in the morning, and it is often almost [-]:[-] in the morning when the night scene ends.Fortunately, Bai Wei will ask for leave to go out to shoot commercials tomorrow morning, so the director can only advance the role of the supporting role and start the second emotional line in the play.He was finally free and could take a day off.

At night, the film and television base was extremely empty, Zhou Nian said goodbye to everyone and walked out of the studio.Outside is the set-up, with bizarre buildings one after another, this is still the campus, and the front has traveled to ancient times.The supporting roles in the crew were all accompanied back to the hotel by their assistants, but he was alone, walking in the lonely empty city under the moon, feeling a bit like no one before or since.

Manager Chen Li had three or four popular stars under him at the same time, so he was naturally given less attention. He was only assigned a temporary assistant, Xiao Huang, to take care of his daily life in the crew.This day, Xiao Huang said early in the morning that something happened at home, and he needed to take a day off to go back and have a look.It stands to reason that the company does not allow artists to go out alone during filming, but he said it sincerely, and Zhou Nian has never been good at rejecting others, so he nodded immediately, and Xiao Huang left happily.

Now it seems that there is still something wrong.

The night wind in late spring is still chilly and very cool, blowing on the deserted streets.Bai Wei had already left one step ahead of him, even if there were paparazzi nearby squatting on celebrities, they would have chased her away long ago - not to mention that in such a late night, there were not many people waiting.

It was rare to have such a pure moment in a day, he felt relieved, put his hands in his pockets, and walked forward slowly.

There are long trains parked on both sides of the road. Under the night, it looks like a group of silent modern sculptures.Zhou Nian had nothing to do, his eyes moved over them inch by inch, thinking aimlessly, this car is beautiful in color, this car is very rare, this car...

It looks like Pei Xun's car.

He stopped and looked again carefully.

That night he remembered Pei Xun's car, it was a model sold in limited quantities worldwide, but its appearance was very low-key... Zhou Nian took a step back and saw the plate number of that car clearly.

"..."

Reason still controlled his expression, but his heart beat wildly.He didn't even have time to think about whether the man came to him, adjusted his breathing on the spot, and walked quickly over there.

The car windows were closed, but the sunroof was open, and wisps of gray smoke escaped.As his footsteps approached, the windows of the car slowly lowered, revealing a little bit of dim light.

Pei Xun was smiling at him.

He didn't notice that he was already laughing too.Zhou Nian lowered his head by his window: "Why are you here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Xun had already pulled him down, raised his head, and kissed him loudly on the lips.
